Steamboat, Colorado is one of those quintessential mountain towns. I have memories spending summers there as a child and have been lucky to have the opportunity to spend a lot of time there as an adult. When I first heard about the Steamboat Lake Triathlon way back in 2016 I knew I had to do…

Race Anecdotes: Boulder Stage Race
If you weren’t a climber there was an ice cube’s chance in hell you’d podium in the three races. Friday was an uphill time trial. Saturday was a time trial in Hygiene, which, flatter than the other two days, still had quite the hill to overcome. And Sunday, glorious Sunday, was a 36-mile road race,…

Battle of the Bear: My First Mountain Bike Race
I had given up on the idea of racing a mountain bike after choosing the Guanella Pass Hill Climb over the Beti Bike Bash. The Beti Bike Bash has a race category specific to women who have never raced before. I was all about that because mountain biking intimidated the shit out me. To factor…
